Appropriation; State Veterans Affairs Board for interment of certain persons in the veterans cemeteries.
HB 1361 appropriates $100,000 from Mississippi's general fund to cover burial costs in state veterans cemeteries for individuals already eligible under Section 35-1-41(6) of Mississippi law, during fiscal year 2026 (July 2025-June 2026). The funds will pay for interments of qualified veterans or their dependents at state-operated cemeteries, as defined by existing law. This is a funding measure with no new eligibility rules or policy changes - it simply allocates money for an established program.
